    Be interesting to see how this translates, especially for moviegoers who aren't necessarily fans. Daredevil isn't an unknown even to non-comic book fans, but the character isn't well known enough for most people to care about the character's struggle from the comic.

    If this was a followup to a well received reboot where the audience was given a reason to care, I could see this working. Just not sure given the previous movie wasn't that great and this is a reboot itself.

    For the fans, I'm sure this could be just what they want to see.

      Daredvil wasn't a box office failure. It cost $80m to make and took in $180m at the box office, not counting DVD, BR and the Directors Cut DVD & BR (which is a MUCH better film)

        Never said it was a box office failure. I just said it wasn't that great of a movie.

          As far as the theatrical release goes I agree - Fox royally screwed up the edit trying to fit it into a shorter slot. OTOH the Director's Cut fills a lot of plot holes left by the botched edit and is a far better film.

            Well I admit, I have never seen the director's cut. I wanted to like the movie, so perhaps giving that version a go will make it so.

            I mean, the director's cut made even Highlander 2 better...
